For some reason, my bagels always come in a bag with boobs drawn on it. This one is a lot more subtle than previous bags.

Lucy (chimpanzee) and Janis Carter hugging. Beautiful. This photo is spoken of in this episode of Radiolab.
Heard it before, worth a listen.

Catching up on my This American Life podcasts, and I heard this story. Odd, sweet and sad.
Peninsula road signs warn of zombie invasion. WAVY reports someone figured out the road-construction sign’s password and changed the message during the dark of night. Of course, that’s what *they* want us to believe.
Don’t joke me. I want them. They look warm and less ugly than the original Ugg.
Tiny Showcase.com sells limited-edition prints of original art by emerging and established artists weekly. None of the prints are much larger than an 8x10. The artists also donate a small percentage of the sale to their favorite charity.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we created a similar project in Hampton Roads? It would feature local artists and benefit local charities. However, we would keep the limited run smaller and ask the artist to sign each one - adding more value to the art, especially if we have a burgeoning Picasso in our midst.
At the end of the year, we’ll request that each artist donate the original art for auction. All proceeds from the auction would benefit one or several charities.
SmallArt.com, HRShowcase.com, HRSmallArt.com, HRSmallArtBigHearts.com. Or maybe we could contact the original site and ask if we could create a regional version of their site: HRTinyshowCase.com.
This year’s tiny angel brought to you by the letters Suzy and Q - an awesome co-worker and friend. I made a larger angel out of newspaper and bubble wrap, but someone said it made the tree look “cheap.” I don’t know why a Charlie Brown tree isn’t suppose to look cheap with its $1 garland and lights that don’t even blink. Speaking of lights, I’m using LED next year to save the planet and about $1 on the electric bill.
